Title: Julidochromis regani and collection points
Post by: linuxrulesusa on March 05, 2013, 10:11:26 PM
How easy is it to tell differences between different collection points of julidochromis regani if not labeled according to collection point?  What is a fair price per fish at about 2" total length?  When might they start breeding?  Are there any external differences as a guide to sexing them?

Thanks.

10 is probably a bit small then for say a pair or trio?  Or might work while they're small?

If you ever get a chance, talk to Pete Durkin, he's very knowledgeable when it comes to Julies.

If you do a pair in a 10 they might do ok but you never know
